A truly excellent way of assessing the priorities in one's own game 
collection when needing to prune it... and the associated hardware
(PC, console etc ). For example, I have kept quite a few classic
Amiga games but I also still have a couple of machines that will
run them.... an A500 and A1200 do not take up much space at all.
